Phys Ed: Week 1, Period 1 (Fri. 1/9)

When students arrived, they would find the Danger Shop was set up like a traditional gymnasium, complete with changing rooms and really high ceilings.

Most of the gym floor was covered in thick, blue mats, with the enormous, body-sinking-type mats stacked underneath three ropes that dangled from the ceiling. Next to these ropes stood a giant of a man who also happened to be the gym teacher.

"I'm Ronon Dex and this is Physical Education or P.E.," Ronon smiled as he looked around at his students, noting familiar faces and cataloging new ones. "Okay, first class gets the intro thing, but only after you introduce yourself to the rope." He gestured the thumb of one fist toward the three ropes in question, which students would note differed only in how many knots were tied in them and how high up on the rope lay a wide red line. "Climb to the red line and slide back down." Ronon grabbed hold of the rope with his large hands and swung himself quickly up to the top moving hand over hand until he touched the red line. Sliding most of the way down quickly, Ronon leaped back to the ground and wiped his hands on his leather pants.

"Should be easy enough, but first you need a uniform. Last semester, some students stole and burned the uniforms at the end. All that means for you is you don't have to wear anybody else's old stuff. Lucky. Now, go suit up and meet me back here in five." Ronon crossed his arms, expecting them to move, and fast.

"When I can," she said. "There are not many who are willing to fight me, aside from my brother and cousin, and even then, they rarely use their full strength."

"What's the point of that?" Ben demanded.

"I think they fear hurting me, because I'm a woman," Éowyn replied. "They cannot truly teach me to fight, for only the men are the warriors."

Ben snorted. "My mom would've killed anyone who told her she couldn't fight because she was a girl."

"I have often tried to get others to understand the way I feel, but it has never worked. Until now, I suppose," she said. "One of the reasons I was sent here was to learn what I cannot at home."

"I'd be happy to spar with you sometime," Ben said. "My technique's probably a little different from what you're used to, though."

"I would appreciate that very much," Éowyn said. "Seeing different techniques can only help me learn more."
